Three Film Package

Undisputed auteur and certified superstar Jackie Chan is the Buster Keaton of Hong Kong action movies. Crafting his own unique niche where martial arts, jaw-dropping slapstick stunt work, and fast-paced thrills collide, his films have brought delight to millions. When it comes to cinema, Chan is some kind of genius. So get over to the Film Society of Lincoln Center to meet the man himself and gaze with awe at one of the most vital and inimitable canons of film comedy ever made. Co-presented with the New York Asian Film Festival and Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office.

Asian Hawk’s quest for a cache of Nazi gold results in a succession of gigantic set pieces and intricate action, including one of cinema’s great car chases, the destruction of an entire hotel, and a final battle in a wind tunnel.

Filmed at the peak of Chan’s prime, this transcendent pairing of classic Shaw Brothers director Lau Kar-leung and Jackie Chan resulted in what many claim to be the greatest martial arts film ever made.

If you ask Jackie Chan which movie he’s most proud of directing, he always names this shimmering 1920s gangster fantasia, a remake of Frank Capra’s Lady for a Day set in a storybook Hong Kong that recalls Damon Runyon’s New York.

As dark and sobering as Police Story was light and playful, the spectacular stunts and killer set-pieces are still there, but Police Story 2 feels more like a deconstruction of the cop thriller than anything else Chan’s ever made.

The movie that transformed Chan from a martial arts star into a director of transcendent physical comedy, Project A is spiced with outrageous stunts, including a jaw-dropping bicycle chase and a 50-foot fall from a clock tower inspired by Safety Last!

Opening on a high-stakes lion dance competition and closing on a ferocious showdown between Chan and Hwang, The Young Master found Chan exploring the thin line between kung fu as performance and as life-or-death combat.

Special event ticket price: $25. This event is not part of the Jackie Chan Discount Package.

This event is currently standby only. A standby line will form at the box office one hour prior to showtime and any available tickets will be released to the line on a first come, first served basis.

Join us for a conversation with Jackie Chan, presentation of the New York Asian Film Festival's Star Asia Lifetime Achievement Award, and screening of Chan’s 101st movie, his massive blockbuster Chinese Zodiac.
